    "Is it ok if the student stays in the room?" <-- ARRG

    chevyv replied to Alternator81's topic in General Students

    It doesn't bother me in the least. I can tell you that it does happen with med students. Everytime I take my son to see his cardiologist, we get at least one med student. We have to ok seeing them...

    chevyv replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Go AWAY! I just want you to GO AWAY! I work pm's so I don't have to deal with you! When I see you coming down the hall toward me, I just want to run in the opposite direction. You always want...

    chevyv replied to Laura77598's topic in General Students

    I remember a couple of years back, we were all having difficulty with hands on head to toe's. We finally asked this really good instructor to do one for us s-l-o-w-l-y. It helps so much. Go into...

    chevyv replied to NurseStudentHusband's topic in General Students

    Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    chevyv replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    I agee that it's how you word it. I will never think its ok for an instructor to tell a student they are not nursing material. That is ridiculous. What does that give the student to work on? How...

    Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    chevyv replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    I agree, but I still can't agree that a nursing instructor should tell a student they are not nursing material. Honestly, I have a nursing instructor that sees me 8 days out of the semester. She...

    Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    chevyv replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    Ruby Vee, I do agree that an instructors thoughts should be taken seriously, but I stand strong on my opinion that it is not their place to tell a student they aren't nursing material. If they do...

    Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    chevyv replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    I think it's dead wrong to tell someone they are not nursing material. Just my humble opinion, but it may be much more productive to actually give the student something to work towards. If an...

    What would your first priority have been?

    chevyv replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    what a suckish day for you! I'm sorry that you had to go through that. I wonder if the nurse could have seen that you were busy and checked to see if there was another person who could wheel the...

    Am I paranoid; or do all my clinical instructors dislike me?

    chevyv replied to cincin1's topic in General Nursing
